No More Squishy Tummy - Hermosillo, Mexico

I am American, but I live in Mexico and had the surgery done in the town that I live in. The Dr is very well known here, and has a very good reputation. Mexican women are very picky about their results and they have very high standards. My surgery was a little over 4 weeks ago, and are results are amazing. My BB looks completely normal, no scarring and my incision looks great. The PS studied in the States and in Spain.

Tomorrow I will be 15 weeks post op! I can't believe it, but last night I could see the beginning of six pack abs! I am on day 17 of Jillian Michaels 30 Day Shred. I know it is because of that! I am so excited and motivated now! I am still having some swelling but it is minimal. Also my breast seem to be bigger, although my bras still fit... Physically I can do anything now that I could do post op. I am still not quite as strong in my core as I was pre op, but I am getting there.

Great review?

Thank you! I took pics to my PS of what I wanted my bb to look like! I told him I was really picky, and that I wanted it vertically hooded! I knew it wasn't going to hurt anything to be really specific, so I went for it. He told me it will be a whole year for it to look exactly like what I want. I am excited for you, but please be forewarned that this is not an easy experience. I wanted to die for a few days. Seriously. Give yourself plenty of time for recovery. We are about the same age, and it took me a full 4 weeks to feel halfway normal. Good Luck, and I look forward to seeing more posts from you.

Welcome to RealSelf!

You look amazing and you must he so happy with the results.  How has your recovery been?

My recovery was rough for about 3 weeks. I had food poisoning one day post op and there were days that I really wanted to die. I regretted the surgery for about 3 weeks. Now at 14 weeks post op I have no regrets at all. I love looking at my new tummy in the mirror and love wearing clothes without being self conscious of the baby belly.

Oh my goodness that was a rough start!  I am happy to hear that it all turned around and you are loving your results.
